Comments

Attach notes, observations, and maintenance records to individual devices in MiningOS.

The Comments feature in MiningOS enables operators and technicians to attach notes, observations, and maintenance records to individual devices. This functionality supports communication between site operators and repair lab technicians, ensuring critical information follows equipment throughout its lifecycle.

For user role permissions related to comments, see Settings. Field operators have read-only access with permission to add comments.

Individual Comments

Comments for individual devices (miners, containers, power meters, and temperature sensors --- see Supported Devices can be added from the following locations:

Explorer

Select any device type in the Explorer to access the comments panel.

Explorer Comments

When a miner or device has an observation relevant to O&M operations—particularly those related to storage tracking or the repair lab—add the comment via MiningOS. For device registration and maintenance workflows, see O&M: Adding & Updating Miners.

Container Page

Access comments for individual containers from any tab within the container view. For container-specific layouts and controls, see:

Bitdeer Containers — Bitdeer Minerbase operations
Antspace Hydro Containers — Bitmain Antspace operations

For supported container models and specifications, see Supported Devices — Containers.

Container Comments

PDU Layout Page

Add comments for selected miners directly from the PDU Layout view. This is useful for documenting position-specific observations during physical inspections.

PDU Layout Comments

LV Cabinet Page

Comments can be added for specific power meters and temperature sensors within LV Cabinets. The main LV Cabinet icon displays an aggregate count for all associated device comments.

For supported power meter and sensor models, see:

LV Cabinet Comments

Comments Overview Page

The Comments Overview page provides a centralized view of all device comments across the site. This page supports searching, filtering, and sorting by device type, date, or content.

Comments Overview

The Actions dropdown provides the following operations:

Action	Description
History	View complete comment history for the selected device
Go to Device	Navigate to the device page in Explorer
Add Comment	Attach a new comment to the device

Repair Lab Access

The Comments Overview page is the primary UI accessible by repair lab technicians. Technicians use this interface to communicate device-specific technical details to site operators, including diagnostics, part replacements, and firmware updates.

For inventory tracking of parts and components, see the Inventory Module. For repair history records, see Repair History.

Comments are stored persistently and associated with device records. When a device is removed from MiningOS, its comment history is also removed. See Remove Miner Permanently for implications.

Comment Best Practices

Use Case	Recommendation
Repair notes	Document symptoms, diagnostic findings, and parts replaced
Position changes	Note reason for relocation (e.g., thermal issues, maintenance)
Firmware updates	Record version changes and any observed behavior changes
Alert follow-up	Document investigation and resolution of alerts
